(I'm the blood in your veins,)
(I'm a piece of valuable land.)
Where is this lid from?
It´s from my grandma´s pot. She gave it to me when I told her I was coming here.

Are you an infiltrator?
The strike is infiltrated by people with dignity.
And not people like them, who are selling the country to foreigners.

(You cannot buy my happiness,)
(You cannot buy my pain.)
(You cannot buy the sun.)
(You cannot buy the rain.)

Without a doubt...
... we are currently passing through a storm.
(You cannot buy my life...)
My land...
is not for sale.
